Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit for people over 16 and under State Pension age who need additional help with daily living tasks or getting around as a result of a long-term illness, disability or mental health condition.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) could pay you between £24.45 and £156.90 every week, now that the 3.1% benefit uprating has been applied. As PIP is paid every four weeks this amounts to between £97.80 and £627.60 every pay period.
While many claimants may be aware of the list of changes in circumstances that must be reported to the DWP in order for them to continue receiving uninterrupted PIP payments, there are a few changes that do not need to be shared.
